A shite little intro...

Hi Guys

 

Budding auto shiter signing up!

 

Followed a link from the french car forum which led me here a few weeks ago, I have been on the site almost everyday since! My autoshite is not to the level of many of your good selves but myself and the missus have previously owned a mk1 fiesta (1.4, 4 gear powerhouse) called George (why to women name cars), a Rover 100 Kensington, a Mk 4 Fiesta Freestyle, a S1 1.9 td Xantia and my current daily drive is a 13 year old 2.0 HDi Xantia which I adore. Big fan of shit French cars, mainly citroen because they are floaty light (until the spheres fail).

 

I would quite like to learn some mechanic type skills and I am currently trying to persuede the good lady to let me buy something like poo like a Visa to practise on.

 

Anyhow, as is the tradition I also did a small spottage during my lunch last week for your enjoyment.

 

Not sure what the hell this is, someone has mated an old truck to a carvan, for resons only they know:

Triple whammy of vanshite (think its an Iveco), and a mouldy old Nissan and Pug 405:

Nice little Dolly, probably a lady owner, a closer inspection revealed a new exhaust system, so being looked after:

And another one, not being so well looked after (behind the fence is an old M5 but the owner looked at me out of the window when I was going to take a picture and I lost my bottle):

Hopefully will update with new spots as I go on my travels!

Howdy! I think a Xantia counts as shite, though I am biased towards Citroens...

Good evening and welcome Sulla!

Goddess monstrosity is awful. And I want it. Bet it's rather interesting inside, whilst being a wonderfully smooth drive on a windy motorway....

On the van I stand corrected guys!

 

As for the green goddess/caravan I did pass it on the M23 two days earlier and nearly crashed the Xantia as I looked on in utter confusion. It did seem to be struggling in the crosswind but as it only seemed to be doing 40 it didn't seem in too much danger!

 

When I pulled into the works overflow carpark and saw it was parked up I whipped the phone camera out so fast I nearly pulled a muscle :D

Welcome along. One million shite points for the Goddess/caravan creation. I can't think of anything else to say about it!

Hello :) It's not just women that give their cars names, or stick flowers (it's temporary!) on them.
